Lynz's Journal

Friday, the 24th of August 1993
Right now I'm on my way to Hogwarts. For some reason Professor Dumbledore wants me to come to school early. I am positive it has something to do with Mum dying on Tuesday. I miss her already and it's only been 3 days! I'm here. I gotta go! Write more soon!

Lynz

When I got off the carriage (Which I now noticed were pulled by weird dragony looking horses!), Professor McGonagall walked over to me.

"Lynz, Professor Dumbledore asked you to come early because of you Mother's recent death."

After she said that I stopped listening. I already knew I was here because of her! I have nowhere else to go. Why didn't I get sent to an orphanage? All the other kids who have lost their parents go there. It must have something to do my condition.

".You are going to be staying in Gryffindor Tower for the remainder of the summer. Your luggage has already been moved up to your room. Do you have any questions?" McGonagall finished.

"Yeah. What about my Mum's funeral? And getting my school supplies?"

Professor McGonagall thought about it for a second before she answered, "Your Mother's funeral will be on the 29th of this month and I'll see about Professor Lupin taking you to get your school supplies."

"Who's Professor Lupin?" I asked. I had never heard of this professor. Must be the new Defense teacher.

"He's the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Just as I thought. Lockhart lost his memory at the end of the school year in my 1st year. We needed a new one after that.

"He's not like Professor Lockhart is he?" I asked hopefully.

"No, heavens no. He's totally different. He's a lot quieter and is quite smart. You'll like him."

"Good!" I certainly hope he's better than Lockhart if I have to spend the whole day with him! "When are we getting my stuff?"

"Hopefully I can get him to take you tomorrow morning. I'll to ask him to be sure."

"Ok, thanks." I said holding back a yawn.

She noticed and said, "You should get some rest. You've had a long day. See you at breakfast tomorrow morning."

"See you in the morning." I said not being able to fight the yawn anymore. I started towards Gryffindor Tower and turned back and yelled, "Professor! What's the password to the common room?"

"Sorry, didn't think about it. It's Fortuna Major."

"Thanks, Professor."

"Goodnight, Lynz." McGonagall told her but she was already halfway up the stairs and couldn't hear her.

**********************************************************************

When I finally got to Gryffindor Tower, I walked up to the Fat Lady and she said, "Lynz, what are you doing here so soon? Term doesn't start for another week. Password?"

"I'll give you details tomorrow, ok? I'm really tired. Fortuna Major. Good night." I said yawning yet again.

The Fat Lady opened her portrait and then said, "Good night." Then closed behind me.

'Since nobody's here I can sleep on the couches in the common room. I always wanted to. I'll just set up my alarm clock and get in my pajamas and go to sleep. I'm so tired!' I already knew my clock was in my dorm. I started searching my bags, finally I found it! It took me about 10 minutes it! By the time I was all ready for bed it was already 9:30!

I went and laid down on one of the couches and tried to go to sleep but I caught myself thinking about this new professor. Why do I have to go with someone I don't know? Why can't I go with McGonagall? He could be a murderer or worse! I wish Ginny were here. I haven't seen her since they left King's Cross Station at the end of term last year. Maybe I could get her to meet me at Diagon Alley tomorrow morning! I should owl her! Now I don't have to use any old school owls that wouldn't get there till Sunday! I got an owl from Mum for my 12th birthday!

I started to run down to owlery and made it in record time! "Artemis! Come here girl! I've got a job for you!" A black owl came down and perched on my arm. "Hold let me write it real fast!" I wrote:

Ginny-
How are you? I haven't seen you in forever! I'm should be going to Diagon Alley tomorrow morning. Fancy meeting me there? I'm at Hogwarts right now and I have to go with the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor! His name is Professor Lupin and I want some company besides some old guy! Please write back a.s.a.p!
Love ya,

Lynz

"Here you go, Baby! Take this to Ginny at the Burrow." And at that Artemis flew off my arm and flew to Ginny's house. NOW I'm going to bed!

When I finally got back up to Gryffindor Tower I went straight in to bed. I looked at the clock, 10:00! I got on the couch and took off my glasses and got under my blanket. 'Wow! These are really comfortable!' I thought just before I fell into a deep sleep.
